What's expected of Performers

Read the Syllabus

Submit your text for approval BEFORE working on it.

Read the play fully and understand the play

Choose age appropriate material

When selecting material, ensure you are starting at the written beginning and cutting it 1-2 minutes in for monologues and 3-4 minutes in for scenes. Please do NOT ever start in the middle. This interrupts the flow and architecture of the piece as intended by the author.

Never make internal edits.

Appropriate costumes for the period

Appropriate dialect for the text

Basic furniture will be available at the theater

Any additional props and furniture needed for the scene are to be supplied by the actor.

Working with your scene partner; schedule rehearsals together in person, on the phone or via Skype- HONOR the schedule!

Research into the play will be expected as of scene/monologue approval.
